New England Central Railroad.

I am wondering if anyone here knows if the New England Central has any type of routine scheduale when it goes through Norwich CT. A co-worker of mine has been trying to get a picture of a train going over a trestle bridge in Yantic but they seem to run at EVERY time of night with no set pattern. I have tried to keep track and have seen some really weird times. Thanks

NECR is hard to say as they have a schedule but it changes a lot and everything depends how much work the train has en route. I remember when I worked down there 610 would come on duty in Montville at 0700 and 608 would come on duty in Palmer at 0800. 610 would work Montville to Yantic Swap trains with 608 at Koff Koff then head to New London and return to Montville.

Currently the schedule is 608 in Montville at 0800, 610 on at 1800 in Palmer, Both jobs off Sat and Sun with Extras running as needed on those days. 610 runs Palmer - Willimantic - Palmer and 608 handles everything south of Willimantic.

Thanks for that.
